📌4 REASONS TO TAKE COLD SHOWERS @BACHPERFORMANCE 📌 - These Beyond the shrivelage 😆 and initial discomfort, cold showers are one of the best habits you can add to improve your health, boost workout recovery, and build mental toughness. I promise you will not die if you try this.🙃 - For the final minute of your shower, turn the water as cold as you can, breathe deep, and embrace the chill. 
- MENTAL TOUGHNESS:
To be honest, we live in a soft world. Life is more convenient than ever. Getting comfortable being uncomfortable and doing something you DONT WANT TO DO builds mental strength, willpower, and toughness to improve all areas of your life. - BOOST CIRCULATION: -
The cold water creates a flushing phenomena for your cardiovascular system. By pumping blood back and forth between vital organs and the surface of your skin, you’ll improve cardiovascular health. -ACCELERATE FAT LOSS:
Cold showers have been shown to increase brown fat, increasing energy expenditure to keep you warm. One study found exposure to cold activates brown fat by a 15-fold increase, enough to stimulate as much as 9 pounds per year. 

Read the study here: http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa0810780 - IMPROVE IMMUNITY:
As your body warms up after a cold shower, it speeds up metabolic rate and activates your immune system. From the stress of cold water, your body releases white blood cells. Higher white blood cell count can reduce your chance of getting sick, and you know…missing the gym. - Freezing your hoohaa or dealywop off doesn’t sound like fun, but the benefits far outweigh the discomfort. Turn down the shower before you step out, and you’ll take another step to looking better naked and building mental toughness.

📌 6 Proven Supplements by @Bachperformance 📌

Train hard.
Eat a diet that provides a caloric surplus to build muscle or a deficit to lose fat. 
Rinse, repeat. Rinse, repeat.
Once those are handled, supplements will make life more convenient and help you squeak out some more progress. -
👉 Caffeine: Let’s start off on a high note with the world's most famous r drug, caffeine. Caffeine is a power stimulant that can improve strength, endurance, and cognitive function. - 👉Fish Oil:Per examine.com, fish oil provides max benefits when your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio is almost equal. Using a quality fish oil can reduce the risk of diabetes, breast cancer, heart disease, and help boost your brainpower and aid in fat loss. Basically, you wont die, you’ll get smarter and jacked. #Winning.
👉Protein Powder: High protein diets help you build muscle, retain muscle when losing fat, and stay full. Get1g of protein per 1lb of bodyweight. -
👉Creatine Monohydrate: Creatine is a proven supplement that helps you build lean muscle, retain lean muscle on a diet, and improve cognitive function. Get 5g of creatine monohydrate daily. - 👉Vitamin D
Vitamin D, technically a hormone is the most common dietary deficiency in the Western Hemisphere. Vitamin D decreases all-cause mortality, improves immune healthy, testosterone levels, decreases cancer risk, heart disease, and diabetes.
I’d recommend supplementing with 2,000 IU’s per day and getting 20 minutes of sunlight (w/o sunglasses) each day. - 👉Magnesium: The 2nd most diffident nutrient in the western world, magnesium increases insulin sensitivity, improves mood, improves cognitive function, and decreases blood pressure.
 👉Supplements are tricky business, but fortunately, these 6 are proven to improve your health, brain power and of course, help you look good naked.
